"You know there are only so many movies that Marvel can do at one time or one after another, but I will promise you 'Dr. Strange' will be on the list," Lee told MTV News. "They just have to get to it. In fact, every one of the characters - they're not going to let one go. Why should they?"

When aked what version of that character he would like to see he said, "Well, obviously I'd like to see the origin that I had written years ago, the one that I did with Steve Ditko. But Marvel is free to do any version they want. And the nice thing about the movies they do is that they hire the best director, the best screenwriter, they have the best producers."

"So I really don't worry if they make changes. They're usually for the best!"

Liam Neeson for Dr. Strange, though Hugh Laurie would be almost as good. I think Hugh would be an incredible Jason Wyngarde(Mastermind) especially if based on the Mastermind when he was in the Hellfire Club.

GUNSMITH: yeah, Laurie is perfect for the role! the only thing that might go against him playing the part is the fact that he's already a well known TV doctor!
:(

Oh and Supermike is the worlds biggest Asshole!!!

Oh no, Kratos6, I meant Nicholas Reynolds, as I cant pick between Nicholas Cage and Ryan Reynolds, so now I have combined them.

The guy from house? HELL No!!!! He's no Dr. Strange. It will be an unknown. Johnny Depp would be real good or the other guy Odeh Fehr would be good as well, Now your talking Dr.Strange Look-a-likes.

Thought I read a while ago Christian Bale would be strange. This was before RR got GL and DP. Maybe Christian will be the next one o do it.

dellamorte1872: i picked Hugh Laurie for Mr Fantastic in a fan cast a while back and yeah, i would prefer to see him in that part rather than as Dr Strange! However, i still think he would make a brill Strange ot Mr Fantastic!

SWANN: considering Dr Strange is supposed to be in his 40's/50's i doubt it will be an unknown!

LEE: Depp would also be a pretty damn good Dr Strange!!

Awesome news! Dr. Strange is SO great.

Its funny, everybody has a different suggestion on who to play Dr. Strange and for once I actually like them all! Stan has said in the past Dr. Strange is the movie he most wants to see done. They need to get on the ball before he kicks.

longbowhunter: "...before he kicks" - wow, thats real nice, lol! Stan Lee should live forever!! And he should defintely return to Marvel and write some comic books - his story in ASM #600 proved that!

I don't know if any of you guys have ever played MUA, but whoever did the voice of Doctor Strange did it SO perfectly. I hope whoever it is that plays him talks just like they had the voice actor do in the game.

Any of these picks would be great. But marvel has so much on thier plate it would be years before they got to this

Some good actors for Doctor Strange! Dr House! haha.. Oded Fehr looks class.. He has that sort of mystical thing going on

I watched Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme yesterday (again) and was wishing they'd think about making a film.. and bam, great news!!

I SAID HUGH LAURIE BECAUSE YOU SEE THE GUY, YOU ASSOCIATE HIM WITH DOCTOR, PLUS HE'S A BRILLIANT ACTOR..NOW JOHNNY DEPP THOUGH ESPECIALLY WITH THAT 9TH GATE PIC, THERES SOME REAL SOLID POTENTIAL IN THAT,YOUNG TALENTED SURGEON LOSES THEN COMES AROUND AS THE SORCERER SUPREME..I CAN SEE HIM BEING THAT.

Always saw Pierce Brosnan as Dr. Strange. Is that to far off?

Im loving the idea of Stan Lee as the ancient one. Give him a role and not just a cameo.
